Such meaningful and soulful lyrics.


A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a don't you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word

Bonny Shoals of Herring; I sing it whenever I've got the house to myself but I have to roar it; I'd like to be able to to sing it properly. Ridiculously hard song.
Or maybe just sound like Luke Kelly in general

lol...

mine would be Notion by Kings of Leon.

Mars Bar

I Would Do Anything For Love - Meat Loaf, this would be the one I'd really love to be able to sing! But others that come in at a close second are:

Outlaw Pete - Bruce Springsteen

Circle of Life- Elton John

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Maybe it's being greedy but I wanna be able to sing the WHOLE Luke Kelly collection, like hime but better

Don't see many who can sing those songs these days, it'd be a shame if they were lost

The Rocky Road to Dublin at the pace set by Luke Kelly and The Dubliners, I can never work out when to take a breath.

I really can't sing, I sound like a bag of drowning cats when I try. But if I could.....

Candy by Paolo Nutini

Beautiful, beautiful song!!

You can hear where he takes breathes in this version

He barely takes any though! :eek:
I'd love to sing like another of The Dubliners; Sean Cannon. Heard him sing 'The Waterford Boys' in a pub a few months ago... it was absolutely ridiculously fast, I felt out of breath listening to him! Irish folk music's really got some gems

biko

Flower of Scotland, aye

rashersangitch1

Id have to go for Raglan road as well....either that or the 'Im a Scatman!' song!:D

I can actually sing, but this is such a difficult one to perform well - I can reach the notes but it just sounds silly. I suppose it's really only suited to Kate Bush. Don't think anyone has even attempted to cover it, which is quite refreshing in these "nothing is sacred any longer" times for music.

Albert Niland does a really cool acoustic version, of course doesn't seing it anything like herself but still really worth a listen

Back on topic, I'd like to the the Rathlin Bog well and not like some redder with guiness down his shirt

i love the albert niland version!!

Love the song, love The Dubliners, have listened over and over to the song. I tried to sing it before, had the lyrics printed out with marks where he took a breath, made it all the way through but didn't sound great. Was trying to sing while breathing in.

Oh yeah, forgot about that - not my cup of tea personally, but that's just me. What I mean though is, at least nobody like Pixie Lott or Pink or someone has attempted to emulate Kate Bush's style of doing it (never say never though... ).

Hounds of Love was covered by Futureheads - Jesus wept. :mad:
I like Placebo's take on Running Up That Hill though... Again, it's done in a different style to the original.

Hayley Westenra attempted it; not a patch on Kate Bush though.

Pretty much any Michael Jackson song really. Man In The Mirror would be class (as someone already said)!

Another one would be Baba O'Riley by The Who...class but impossible to sing.
